Wanted to hear how these 3 firms currently place in London in terms of exits to UMM/MF, alongside culture/dealflow as well. Would be great to hear about specific teams that stand out for each too — heard DB LevFin is particularly good, curious how TMT fares for each too.

Citi > BofA > DB
BofA flying down the leaderboards recently, currently 7th in Europe YTD for M&A deal value in Europe, falling behind Citi and Roths in EMEA in 2024 too.
Best teams: BofA HC and C&R, DB Industrials and LevFin. Not sure about Citi
If you want to do LevFin and go down the debt side, later go onto Private Credit - DB Levfin is the place to be. Top team, arguable top 3 in EMEA.
If you want anything apart from LevFin, pick BofA, Citi.
DB: LevFin, TMT (Im tired of everyone saying Industrials - no solid exits at all, all low cap deals - TMT acc has good exits and has been on some large mandates)
BofA: Healthcare, Consumer, M&A execution
Citi: TMT, Healthcare, Industrials
Interesting. Heard Citi split their TMT in Tech and Media & Comms though, how do these compare?
Sweaty and lots of pitching (more so for tech)
Ah I see, thanks. How do they fare compared to street? Heard Citi's particularly strong for Telco
To those saying “DB LF > BofA LF” I have to disagree. While it’s true that they’re not quite up there in LTs, BofA’s LF team is equally as good if not better than DB’s for exits.
